Opportunity Quest 2016 - 2017

Opportunity Quest is an executive summary business plan competition open to all students at Weber State University. Individuals or teams can submit entries, but each submission must include at least one current Weber State University student in a prominent leadership role. The competition gives students a chance to organize, direct, and present a business idea to a panel of judges.

A cash prize of $5,000 will be awarded to the team judged to have presented the most plausible and promising new business or idea. Cash prizes of $3,000 and $2,000 will also be awarded for the 2nd and 3rd place teams respectively. The first-place team is also automatically entered as a finalist in the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge.

To apply, simply fill out the registration form below and upload a short and simple video. Videos can be basic by simpling featuring the student or student team, providing a brief explanation of their business or idea. This will help the selection committee better understand your business and provide a more complete evaluation. Videos can be up to 5 minutes in length. 

The five selected finalists will be announced on Dec 8th. The finalists will then have approximately one month to write a 2-3 page executive summary for the final round judges to review.
